Crash Barrel Installation Instructions

SURFACE CONDITIONS:

1. Inspect the area where the crash barrels are to be placed.
2. The area must be concrete or asphalt, to maintain a stable surface in wet or icy conditions.
3. A grade of no more than 3 degrees so the barrels will not slide and cause damage.

ARRAY LAYOUT:

1. Review the plan of where the barrels are to be placed and determine the centre line of impact by a vehicle for the rows of barrels
2. Mark on the road the centre line with chalk
3. Position the lids of the barrels centered to the line with correct pacing between lid
4. Mark around the lids with chalk

FIELD ASSEMBLY:

1. Connect the two separate units together to form a barrel
2. Place the sand barrels in the position of the chalked lid area
3. The easiest way to fill the barrel is the use a concrete truck and simply tip the sand into the barrel to the correct level for the required weight, dry sand is required as the sand must disperse on impact
4. Place the lid on the barrel and apply pressure at the rim to snap the lid on. The lids are designed to fit tightly to prevent theft
5. If the lid needs to be removed use a bar or fibreglass batten working around the edge to pry the lid off
